"You will be doing me a pleasure and perhaps yourself as well." As soon as the two men were seated on the divan, Gabinius began: "Those little things which we have collected with particular liking, we do not readily part with that I know by long experience.
The tribune freed himself from the hands that were at his throat; he rushed out into the Forum, closely pursued by the consul Piso, who would have been torn in pieces in turn had not Gabinius interposed to save him.
But in the dealings of Rome with foreign kings, these evils had often before arisen, and at last been made criminal; and while Gabinius was tried for treason, de majestate, for leading his army out of his province, Rabirius was tried, under the Lex Julia de pecuniis repetundis, for lending money and taking office under Auletes.
"By the Holy Oak, Gabinius," replied another voice, in barbarous Latin, "what I've begun I'll end! I'll find Drusus yet; and we won't leave a soul living to testify against us! You men, break down that door and let us into the rest of the house!" Mamercus heard a rush down one of the passages leading to the peristylium. The house was almost entirely deserted, except by the shrieking maids.
Their extraordinary joy was owing to the speed with which he had executed his commission, so far beyond all expectation, and to the superabundant plenty which reigned in the markets. For this reason Piso was in danger of being deposed from the consulship, and Gabinius had a decree ready drawn up for that purpose; but Pompey would not suffer him to propose it.
He himself, going aboard at Brundusium, sailed over the Ionian Sea with a few troops, and sent back the vessels with orders to Antony and Gabinius to embark the army, and come over with all speed into Macedonia.
Gabinius paid no more heed to Keraunus than the Roman had done. He walked on ahead and paused in front of the mosaic for which he had offered so high a price, and over which a few days since he had been so sharply dealt with by the steward. "I would beg you," he said, "to look at this masterpiece."
Sylla, assured of their faith and courage by Gabinius, bade them proceed with the enterprise, and meantime drew up the army, and disposing the cavalry on both wings, himself took command of the right; the left being committed to the direction of Murena.
Before the door was closed upon them the dealer called after them: "It is already growing dark, might I ask you to send me as bright a light as possible by one of your slaves." "What about the picture?" asked Keraunus. "Till the light is brought let us talk of something else," said Gabinius. "Then take a seat on the couch," said Keraunus.
But first I must ask you, have you heard whether the report is true that Terentia, Caius Glabrio's wife, has run off with a gladiator?" "So Gabinius, I believe," replied Pratinas, "just told me. And I heard something else. A great secret. You must not tell." "Oh! I am dying to know," smirked Valeria. "Well," said the Greek, confidentially, "Publius Silanus has divorced his wife, Crispia.
